Dear CRguy

Thank you for sharing your journey
Today my dad got his report back after his endoscopy and the conclusion was he has a RectoSigmoid Malignant growth.
He is booked in for a scan tomorrow morning which I will accompany him to. Needless to say I am devasted and feel so lost. We have to wait for more answers and until then I have joined this forum to gain some insight

I wish you all the best in your journey and stay healthy happy and positive

Thank you! Still getting familiar with how to use this forum.

Dad had his scan this morning and then has his appointment with the docters on the 12/11 to discuss the results of his biopsy and scan

I am storming the heavens with prayers and I thank you for the support and all the members here that share their stories

Lots of love

Hello and welcome to the Forum. I'm sorry your dad (and you) are going through this stressful and scary time. IMHO I think waiting until 12/7 for the meeting with the doc to get scan and biopsy results is entirely and inexcusably too long. I would encourage you to call the office and get the appointment moved up.

Good luck to you both.

When you say 12/11 do you mean the 12th of November or the 11th of December?
